(US5041346-A)      Ion conductive polymeric material comprises (a) a structural material, (b) at least 1 plasticiser, (c) an ion solvating polymer and opt. at least 1 ionic salt in an admixture. Component (a) is polyethylene oxide and component (c) is oxymethylene linked polyethylene glycol having a repeat sequence of formula (CH2CH2O)aCH2O, where a is 4-10 (4-9).    Component (a) pref. has a molar mass of 1,000,000-5,000,000 or 100,000-500,000. The ionic salt is a salt of a strong acid anion with a metal ion or a stable cationic complex. The polymeric material contains at least 1 ionic Li salt. The Li salt is LiCF3SO3, LiPF6, LiClO4 or LiAsF6.    USE -   Used as electrodes in electrolytic cells used in batteries (claimed) for e.g. electric vehicles, computers memory back up power sources, heart pacemakers and integrated power sources for PCBs. @(7pp)@    (DE3874751-G)      An ion-conducting polymeric materials contains (a) one or more structural materials (pref. a polymer); (b) one or more low mass plasticisers; (c) one or more amorphous ion-solvating polymers (pref. contg. CH2CH2O repeat units); and opt. (d) one or more ionic salts.    (a) is poly(ethylene oxide) and (c) is an oxymethylene-linked polyethylene glycol with repeat sequence -(CH2CH2O)aCH2O- where ave. valve of a=4-10.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Current densities carried by the electrolytes at ambient temps. are improved by increasing the conductivity of the electrolyte and altering its temp. dependence, esp. at low temps. BY use of the 3 or 4 components, the problems of kinetic instability and recrystallisation are reduced. Hence, the ion-solvating polymers (c) which are pref. of the type described in GB2164047, became compatible with battery thin film electrolytic requirements. Electrolytic cells and batteries with the polymeric materials as electrolytes can be used e.g. in elec. vehicles, computer memory back-ups, heart pacemakers and integrated power sources for PCBs.
